Case studies

STC Case Study

STC specialises in making adjustments to the larger type of earth-moving machines. Adjusting excavators to suit specific customer requirements is what STC is particularly well known for.

Because of its specific knowledge of both the hydraulic and the electrical systems of the different excavator brands, STC is able to make clear exactly what it expects from a control valve that has to be used in its systems.

The high oil flow required for these functions and the flexibility of our APV product line were among the reasons why STC opted to work together with AMCA.

After many hours of consultation between engineers from AMCA and STC, we came up with a number of STC-specific configurations that give the user of the machine the right feeling of control over the machine. From excavators with extra-long booms to special demolition cranes with multiple extensions, AMCA regulates APV control valves to provide high quality at high altitudes!

Padmos shipyard

Padmos is a shipyard that builds and maintains different types of ships. It often chooses to use AMCA’s APV product line, especially for the construction of its fishing vessels. Padmos does so because the APV product line makes it possible to get very high and very low openings from a single large combi-block. It is also possible to use special sections that make it easier to connect the often very complete piping. By means of a special adaptation to the APV-22, it is possible for Padmos to regulate the winches on fishing vessels very accurately. Since there are quite a few hydraulic functions on a ship, the blocks that AMCA supplies to Padmos are sometimes 1.5 metres long!
